Origin of the recipe
We do not know for sure the exact origin of this small cake, but what we know:
● We found shell shape molds in Pompei
● One legend pretends that a young girl called Madeleine served cakes to the Saint-Jacques pilgrims in Spain
● The great cook Antonin Carême gave this cake its name "Madeleine"
● The madeleine was apparently born in a French town "Commercy"
● The Commercy madeleine became popular starting in the years 1810
● The expression "madeleine de Proust" refers to a famous passage from Marcel Proust's novel "À la recherche du temps perdu," published in the early 20th century. In this passage, the narrator dips a madeleine into a cup of tea, and this experience evokes a buried memory of his childhood, triggering a cascade of memories and emotions linked to his past. The expression has become a symbol of involuntary memory.
